    Stuffed peppers again for two meals. I'm not sure if I answered or not so… I don't blanch the peppers. I like raw bell peppers. So the first meal, I eat the peppers raw. Normally i will bake the next meal for 30 minutes at 350. But I tried microwaving them for 5 minutes and that works just as well for me.

    Yesterday I had a pretty good day.

    Lunch was a wrap with bean salad, avocado, and feta. On the side I had a Korean sweet potato.

    Dinner was a red lentil dhal served over a combination of rice and cauliflower rice. I also had a mini naan with it.

    Snacks were a greek yogurt and some chips.

    I do wish i wasn't so picky on asparagus. I managed to make it once that I really loved. Every other time I couldn't chew them. my brain wouldn't allow it even though i liked the taste.

    I won't be adding much to this over the next few days. My boyfriend called what I made 'goup' I kind of agree. it's edible but a bit bland. Not even worth listing the ingredients. Every one else's food looks fantastic though.

    I been eating basically same stuff will post new meals as of Monday today was

    Brunch 2 egg bites with peppers n spinach,vegan bacon and 3 bites of cinnamon bun with 1/2 cup berries

    D 2 small slices of cheese pizza and my tim's coffee

  • totameafox
    totameafox Posts: 1,285 Member

    if you are within your calories you are making good choices.

    I didn't track calories today. I was supposed to be a evening out with mom but we have a storm through. I started off the day with cottage cheese because I felt I needed something. I just ate what was left in the container.

    lunch was cheetoes corn puffs. probably half the bag. It was a surprise elder sit day. My aunts granddaughter's other grandmother was in a bad car accident last night and my aunt went to the hospital while she had surgery today so her granddaughter wouldn't be alone if the other woman died.

    and I was hoping to have a picture of a bacon cheese burger… i ate goup with cottage cheese.

    so you have company in the 'should make better choices' category

    I love pics! Looks yummy Luv!

    First topline goal for me was cals to maintain weight… no attention to macros, so plate of icecream for dinner, right??? LOL

    • Or just m&ms
    • Or chips, or...

    When i came up for air, thought hmmm, healthy that I like? I try to do that now, then doc limited carbs for health reasons, and that is when I can struggle - no more plates of ice cream.

    Baking chicken, potatoes and vegs for dinner... it will be yummy…

    And for now, i can't resist the old favs so not buying at this tme or I would revert. My fingers would glow orange! Lol

    Lunch was tuna sandwich and asparagus again. No new pic.

    i have no idea my total calories for today. I had planned a tuna casserole and 2 or 3 halo top ice creams just to let my mind have a play day but my aunt threw a wrench in the plan.

    1 Bojangles sausage biscuit. (without jam) the biscuit was perfect <3
    1 Banana. Couldn't refuse it, it made the lady I was sitting for feel good
    my aunt's left over fries and chicken breast (she's lost a huge amount of weight.)

    I was then told of a bag of cheetoes corn puffs that were hidden for me. I resisted eating them because I would probably eat the whole bag. So I am saving them for the next time I go over and plan that in the day.

    1 halo top ice cream - cookies and cream… it was lovely
    1 serving of tuna casserole.

    so i don't think I did too bad for a unplanned day.

    I am back from my Convention weekend insanity and I ate horribly. The Convention Center did not have great food options. I mean, the walking taco I had Sunday was pretty damn tasty, but not at ALL healthy. Much less the pizza and hot dog I had the other days. But I am no longer able to survive a full Con day with only snacks so I ate what was there.

    Today I plan to have:

    Breakfast: 3 dates with PB

    Lunch: Salad wrap (if the wraps are still good lol) with greens, feta, chicken, cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and dressing.

    Dinner: Greek falafel bowls (greens, rice, falafel, tomatoes, cucumber, feta, and tzatziki)

    No pictures today. getting back into the swing of things.

    I've made chicken soup with corn, peas and carrots. It was fairly easy to make but I have determined I am not a soup person. So I likely won't be doing it again.

    And popcorn.

    I've determined I don't really get satisfied from eating. I will eat until what I have is gone if I let myself. So when I can find a way around that I make adjustments. Meal prepping is one way I do it. Dividing servings and putting the food away before eating keeps me from eating everything I cook.

    I did have rule about 1 treat at the beginning of each month. Cause that bag of cheetoes will not last me 7 days. I'm good to make them last more than 7 minutes. So I changed white cheddar cheetoes (1200 calories) to cheetos corn puffs (720 calories). then decided that pop corn 120 calories and i have to physically make it. I sorta wish I could replicate the taste but at least the texture is similar.

    yesterday:

    ice cream… I think nearly half of my calories yesterday was ice cream. sadly it is not on the menu for today as I'm going out to eat with mom.

    hummus
    bell peppers
    crackers
    string cheese

    surprisingly a yummy combination.

    not sure how many calories the day totaled. had that been it… I would have known. but my boyfiend made garlic shrimp… very garlicky shrimp.

    today

    felt a bit peckish so I hate some hummas and bell peppers. I will likely add some herbs to the hummas next time.
